Complete Shotokan Karate is actually two books in one: a thorough history of Japanese karate in Asia and the United States, and an instructional manual for students of the Shotokan method.
The ART OF KARATE is a unique book that for the first time presents karate pictorially-as a genuine art form rather than merely as a means of self-defense or as a contact sport
This definitive volume is a systematic presentation of the "empty hand" art of karate. An easy-to-follow manual illustrated with over 1,000 photographs
Anyone can learn karate, and this is the place to start-with clear, simple instructions and hundreds of photographs that show kids going through the basics, and beyond.
